Millions watched around the world as captain Martin Johnson became the first player to lead a northern hemisphere side to the world title. Wilkinson's last-gasp effort was all that separated the sides after 100 minutes of rugby and a dramatic extra-time finale. Australia battled hard and were never out of the game but ultimately fell just short, despite opening the scoring through wing Lote Tuqiri. The match represented the culmination of four impressive years of improvement from an England team that flattered to deceive in the last World Cup.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 22 | 2003: England win Rugby World Cup About This Site | Text Only 2003: England win Rugby World Cup England have won the Rugby World Cup, beating Australia 20-17 in a game which is already entering the history books as one of the country's great moments of sporting triumph. The final, in Sydney, was won just 26 seconds from the end of the match, with a breathtaking drop goal by Newcastle fly-half and youngest member of the squad, Jonny Wilkinson. It is the first time a northern hemisphere side has won the world title. Australia battled hard and were never out of the game, but after 100 minutes of rugby and a dramatic extra-time finale the England team wrestled away the cup by the slimmest of margins. Nailbiting England showed no signs of the weakness they were criticised for when kicked out by South Africa in the last World Cup. After Australian winger Lote Tuqiri opened the scoring with just six minutes on the clock, three Wilkinson penalties quickly turned the tables. England were 14-5 ahead.

The game was often nailbitingly close as Australia levelled twice more - once at 80 minutes with a last-gasp penalty from Elton Flatley, and again at 97 minutes when the two sides were 17-17, again down to Flatley's efforts, pushing the game into extra time. Three minutes later, and with a sudden death shoot-out just seconds away, it was all over as Jonny Wilkinson's drop goal brought England the World Cup. Even Wilkinson dropped his normal cool poise, leaping into the arms of fellow player Mike Catt. Rugby superstar Soon afterwards, at 2244 local time (1144 GMT), the England captain, Martin Johnson, stepped forward to receive rugby's greatest prize. The biggest cheer, unsurprisingly, was saved for Wilkinson, who by that stage could not stop smiling. The 24-year-old is already being hailed as rugby's first superstar. He is England's all-time record points scorer and has just been voted international player of the year for the second year running. "He is a very special player, a very special person," said Johnson.

He also spoke of his joy at lifting the Webb Ellis trophy, the first captain of his country to do so. "It hasn't sunk in," he said. "It will take a few days to sink in - it is fantastic for all the players, the management and the whole of England."

He started on the wing against Samoa and scored a fine try from a trademark Wilkinson cross-kick, before landing two from the same position in the thrashing of Uruguay. Replaced Lewsey at full back in extra time in the final and was on the pitch when victory was sealed. Rugby after 2003: Continued to be play for England until 2008, though was in and out of the side. Left Bath to join Leeds a year after the 2003 World Cup, before joining Gloucester and then Biarritz – where he eventually retired in 2014 following a serious knee injury. Where is he now?

He would never play for England again, despite impressive form for Wasps. Retired in 2009. Where is he now? Since quitting rugby Lewsey has had quite a career. He completed a postgraduate law diploma, became a management consultant and then a city trader, and attempted to climb Mount Everest but his breathing equipment failed 500 feet from the summit.

Jason Robinson celebrates after scoring England's only try during the 2003 World Cup final Age now: 37 Position: Centre Role in 2003 World Cup: Perhaps the least recognisable name in the squad, Abbott started just two games, and was a replacement against Wales in the quarter-final. His solitary try game against Uruguay.

Rugby after 2003: Continued to play for England, amassing 75 caps, but notoriously fined and dropped after throwing a dwarf during the 2011 World Cup. Finally retired in 2014, the last of the 2003 squad to do so. Still plays second XV rugby for his local village team. Where is he now?

Mike Tindall (right) takes on the Australia defence during the World Cup final in Sydney Age now: 36 Position: Wing Role in 2003 World Cup: Started every game except the try-fest against Uruguay, and while he only managed two tries – both against Georgia – was still a vital part of the team. His pace and power typified the England side. Rugby after 2003: Remained part of the England set-up until 2006, but after being dropped in 2007 Cohen decided to rule himself out of the 2007 World Cup to support his pregnant wife. He would never play for his country again, but did continue playing – and scoring tries – in the club game, at Northampton, Brive and then Sale. Retired in 2011. Where is he now? Since rugby the massive winger has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, and become a campaigner against bullying. He set up the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation and has particularly focused on tackling homophobia.

Ben Cohen takes on France during England's semi-final victory and appears on Strictly last year Age now: 40 Position: Wing Role in 2003 World Cup: Never a regular starter for England, despite an incredible try-scoring record, Luger was twice used as a replacement, and twice a starter – including the quarter-final against Wales – and crossed the line twice during the tournament. His biggest impact on the tournament however came as an illegal replacement against Samoa, when England had 16 men on the field, causing the team to be charged with misconduct. Rugby since 2003: Luger never again played for England, although he did represent his country at sevens. He moved to France for his club game, representing Perpignan, Toulon and Nice before retiring in 2010. Where is he now?

Rugby since 2003: In 2007 he became the oldest player ever to play in a World Cup final, winning the last of his 75 caps. He continued to represent London Irish until his retirement in 2010.

Mike Catt (left) celebrates winning the World Cup with Jonny Wilkinson (centre) and Richard Hill Catt - seen here in February - is now a key part of Stuart Lancaster's coaching team at England Age now: 44 Position: Fly-half Role in 2003 World Cup: Very much a fringe player, starting only against Uruguay, a game in which he kicked an impressive 11 conversions.

Paul Grayson - ever realiable with the boot - kicks a conversion over the posts against Uruguay Age now: 36 Position: Fly Half Role in 2003 World Cup: After a lacklustre group stage performance, one Australian newspaper splashed a picture of Jonny Wilkinson on their back page with the headline ‘Is this all you’ve got?’. Well, Jonny may not have been all England had, but he was quite a lot of it. Kicked points constantly, created tries with cross-kicks, and generally bossed the tournament. His final drop goal is one of the most iconic moments in English sport. Rugby since 2003: As a man who constantly laid his body on the line with bone-crunching defence, Wilkinson was plagued by injuries. Bounced back in time to play in the 2007 final, and finally retired from the international game in 2011, England’s greatest ever fly half. His move to France preserved his club career, and he bowed out in 2014 winning the Top 14 and Heineken Cup finals with Toulon in his final two games. Where is he now?

The man the French call ‘Sir Jonny’ still has a part-time coaching role at his former club, and continues to spend several hours a week working on his kicking game, despite having retired. Has set up the Jonny Wilkinson Foundation, seeking to offer life-changing support to members of his community who need it most. Wilkinson appears at the premiere of Building Jerusalem, a film about the 2003 success, on Monday night Age now: 40 Position: Scrum half Role in 2003 World Cup: Excellent in his only start – against South Africa during the Pool Stages – Bracken was a replacement for the most part, winning his final cap from the bench in the semi-final against France. Rugby after 2003: Continued playing for Saracens until his retirement in 2006, but had already retired from internationals at the end of the 2003 World Cup. Worked at his former club for a short time as a half back coach. Where is he now? Bracken made money through property developments, before starring on Dancing on Ice and then setting up his own Ice Dancing production company.

Andy Gomarsall scores a try against Uruguay (left) and plays in a Legends match in Leicester (right) Age now: 47 Position: Prop Role in 2003 World Cup: Mostly used from the bench, Leonard provided experience and played some part in all seven matches.

Did not play a single minute, and although he got a medal admitted later that he keeps it ‘stashed away somewhere’ because he didn’t feel he deserved it. Rugby after 2003: Came into his own, despite being over 30, after the 2003 tournament. He played a big part in the 2007 World Cup, including starting the final, and was in the England squad for the 2011 competition as well. In 2009 he starred for the Lions, 12 years after his first tour with them, and in doing so became the oldest player to play for the British side. Finally retired, after a spell at Toulon, in 2013.

Julian White (far right) watches on as captain Martin Johnson makes a burst Samoa White lines up alongside Dorian West in a Matt Hampson charity match in April 2013 Age now: 39 Position: Prop Role in 2003 World Cup: England’s first choice at loose-head prop, Woodman started the majority of the games, including both semi and final, as the England scrum provided a rock-solid base in front of Wilkinson. Rugby since 2003: As can be the way with props, a back injury hampered his career, forcing him into an early retirement just two years after the World Cup.

Ben Kay spills a glorious try-scoring opportunity in the final and right with Virginia Kay last year Age now: 46 Position: Flanker Role in 2003 World Cup: Alongside Hill and Dallaglio, Back was a concern for some England supporters going into the World Cup – sure the back row was supremely experienced and talented, but was it too old?

Rugby since 2003: Retired from international rugby when he was dropped from the Test side the following year, but continued to represent the Lions in 2005.

Martin Johnson captained England to World Cup victory in 2003 Former captain Martin Johnson has urged England's players not to repeat the mistakes of the 2011 World Cup in the upcoming 2015 edition on home soil. Johnson was England boss in New Zealand four years ago when off-field incidents led to heavy criticism. Raucous behaviour in a bar and Manu Tuilagi jumping off a ferry were among the unwelcome headlines in New Zealand. "It's not rocket science is it; don't get into trouble," said Johnson, who captained England to victory in 2003.

Speaking to BBC Sport the former second row added: "You have to know what the line is between right and wrong. "Ultimately when you go there [to a World Cup] you have to be able to trust everyone. "I think the players know where the line is and they know what they need to be doing or not doing." The Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie has recently sought Johnson's advice about how to avoid disciplinary problems this time round. England head coach Stuart Lancaster has already dropped Leicester centre Tuilagi and Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley from his World Cup training squad following breaches of discipline. Hartley was cut from the 50-man party after being banned for a head-butt during the Premiership semi-final between Northampton and Saracens, and Johnson has backed his successor's stance. "Dylan has had numerous occasions when it has happened," Johnson said, whose England side were knocked out at the quarter-final stage in 2011. Martin Johnson was promoting the launch of the ticket designs for the World Cup "I think Stuart made the right call. If that happens at a key moment it could cost everyone.

So Hartley almost made the choice for him." Tuilagi caused controversy at the last World Cup when he received a police warning for jumping off an Auckland ferry, and will miss this year's tournament after pleading guilty to assault. "It's unnecessary. He's a fantastic player but he's lost an opportunity and ultimately only got himself to blame," Johnson added. But Johnson - who won 84 caps for England between 1993 and 2003 - says he has sympathy for the current generation of players when it comes to life away from rugby. "They are young guys, and part of it is letting your hair down a little bit. But it is more difficult to do that now," he added. "Everyone has a camera and you can construe one situation as something different. "Your memories as a player are both on and off the field, and I feel sorry in a way for some of them because it is easy for someone to try and deliberately catch you out. "It's a bit unfortunate, but that's the way it is." Johnson is one of four World Cup winning captains featured on the official England Rugby 2015 tournament tickets, and he believes this year's showpiece is too close to call.

"I think a lot of teams will think it's their best chance in a long, long time to get to a final," he said. "So it's going to be very interesting what plays out. "What happened in February when they played each other last time [during the Six Nations] is mainly irrelevant. Playing in a World Cup the games are huge, the pressure is massive. "It's who can deal with that."

The former England captain was player-coach at Gloucester last season but has not been offered a new contract. The 35-year-old centre, who joined Gloucester from Bath in 2005, won 75 caps for his country. "It wasn't a hard decision in the end.

It was a case of staying another year at Gloucester or retiring," he told BBC Radio 5 live. "I didn't want to go and play at another club so it was an easy decision." After 17 years, it's time to retire from rugby. I have been lucky to play with/against some great players, and two great clubs. Mike Tindall on Twitter Tindall's decision comes four days after former team-mate and close friend Iain Balshaw became the penultimate member of the 2003 World Cup-winning side to retire. Tindall, who captained England in 2011, played 181 games for Gloucester and had considered continuing as a coach at Kingsholm, prior to the sacking of director of rugby Nigel Davies in May. "I've had 17 years in the game, so I thought it might be nice to have a bit of time away to see if I wanted to still be in the environment, or out doing something else," added Tindall. "There's personal ambitions I'm sad about missing. I would have loved to have said I was at a club for 10 years, but it doesn't always work out the way you want it to.

"No way would I change anything or feel sad about anything. "I can say now I've done eight years at Bath, which I loved, and had nine fantastic years at Gloucester. I can be really proud of those times and I think it's the way I wanted it to finish." World Cup winners - Where are they now? Sir Clive Woodward.
